About Us

Many of our new patients (yes, we are taking new patients and LOVE to help all of you who are wanting to improve your pet’s care using natural therapies and functional medicine) have told us they have tried other doctors in our area who advertise as “holistic veterinarians,” only to be disappointed when they realize the doctor is not at all holistic. These other doctors still push unnecessary vaccines and drugs, as well as selling the popular pet foods that are full of by-products and chemicals.

Unfortunately, any doctor can advertise as “holistic” as there is no legal definition of “holistic.” While it’s not illegal to advertise as holistic even if you’re not holistic, it’s certainly unethical as it misleads the public.

We are truly holistic, not just because we offer a few supplements or vitamins. Our entire approach focuses on using natural therapies as much as possible to prevent and treat all medical disorders. When we need to do so, we will use conventional medications on a very limited basis until the pet is feeling better and then continue to rely on natural therapies for long term health.

This truly holistic approach allows most of our patients to live several years longer than expected, and we have many satisfied clients and patients who appreciate our approach!

First, we are the only hospital in North Texas offering Functional Medicine for all pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals.) Functional medicine focuses on the function of the patient’s cells, using an individualized approach to promote health and return sick patients to healthy as quickly as possible. The practices of functional medicine are useful both for healthy patients (to improve their health) as well as for those suffering from illness, especially chronic illness, to return them to health.

Functional medicine uses diet, supplements, herbs, and homeopathics to improve the health of cells in order to facilitate healing. By reviewing a history of the pet’s lifestyle, prior diseases, and diet, we carefully fine-tune our recommendations rather than recommending the same health plan or treatment regimen for every patient.
